And we've been talking about this contract for a decade. Was the contract inked in blood or something? We have fewer products on the market than most FCS schools.

anyone with a good link to the details of this agreement?

The same thing happened to the Taco Cabana right off of campus. Used to have a bunch of UNT pictures and decorations, but when they remodled the store they took them all down.

Also, my ex gf works at Freebirds and she told me Freebirds asked UNT if they could use the eagle logo in the store to help create a UNT vibe in the store, but UNT responded with a big NO. This sort of crap pisses me off...a store trying to show pride in the local school asks for permission to use a logo and the school shuts them down! Way to go North Texas...

Well, for starters, Freebirds could "show pride in the local school" by bartering just $1500-$2000 in product and becoming one of the University of North Texas Athletic Department's official Restaurant Partners. Hopefully, this option was communicated to Freebirds when they inquired about using the logo.

WTF. We want brand presence and the invitation is there. I mean, yes, Freebirds is making money off of UNT. Fine, it'll do it anyways due to it's location, so capitalize on it and SLAM the brand into any eyes that'll look at it. That's how branding works.

Not exactly. You don't just give away your trademarked logo for free. If you did, the other paying sponsors would have less reason to contribute. I agree we most definitely need more exposure and the published sponsorship packages don't offer much in return compared to most of the ones I've evaluated. I've always argued that the UNT Marketing Department, and Athletics in particular, is severely lacking in many aspects.

The little information publicly available makes it look like we're right in line with SMU and TCU?

UNT

TCU

SMU

Seems to me that it isn't much more complicated than any other school. Just 'too expensive and too much red tape' to do it for little ole' North Texas, huh?

Really, I don't give a crap how hard it is to stock UNT t-shirts in your store, just like I don't give a crap how hard it is to make a good burger and fries. I just want what I want. Make it happen, Retailer Guy.

I hope they put some NT pictures back up. I was at the McDonald's by campus in the early 2000's and, during football season, was handed my meal on a TEXAS TECH FOOTBALL place mat. Rudy was given some BS explanation, and he nearly wadded it up and tossed it back to them.

Wow, negative votes for standing up for my university. Nice.

Ever been to a Whataburger in College Station? They're decked out in A&M stuff. The tables have the A&M logo on them, the inside of the store is painted maroon and one of the stripes on the roof is painted maroon with the A&M logo. I've always wished one of the 3 Whataburgers around campus would adopt this technique.

I have to give props to the Chicken Express on Eagle. They painted the inside of the restraunt the same shade as our official green. A far cry from the Burger King that preceeded them.

I was at the Whataburger on Ft Worth Drive last night and I was upset to discover that all of the UNT Alumni pictures and posters have been removed and replaced with the typical pictures of older Whataburgers.

It was a sad sight.

talking about pictures and posters, i guess i will take the opportunity to say I have order some large photos to frame from Rick Yeatts...football, dunbar, etc...the ones i ordered were 16x20 photos...about $30 bucks...they look great...framed in black...one in living room,, one in office with other framed pics of the stadium renderings and progress photos

Rick yeatts....I found him to be more than helpful and considerate when I had a problem with a photo enlargement....so, net net...if you want some nice photos of UNT football for your place...check rick yeatts photo gallery out....I think you can get to it via the MG Sports (unt athletics) site.

Whataburger hasn't been the same since they moved their corporate offices to San Antonio. I personally think it's more pathetic when BW3 won't display anything of NT up there at the one in Denton. But the same can be said for Rice and UH down here in H-town.

There is some UNT stuff by the men's bathroom

Loved those flying worm light fixtures at that McDonalds.

One of the few problems of the Fry era was how small Denton's population and UNT's enrollment were back in the mid-70's.

I used to beg my Dad to stop at that McDonalds, just so we could eat under the Flying Worm helmets.

      Some college football head coaches struggle with the NIL and Portal era...and give it up

      Translation: I was about to be fired.

      Head Coach Bill Belichick North Carolina

      He says he wants to run UNC like a semi-NFL team, lol. He will soon find out that 18-22 year old know-it-all college kids are a lot different than 23-35 year old men. I'd rather this announcement was the Cowboys hiring him.

      Bowl Tailgating

      HouCat, appreciate your input and friendly banter. Your crew (literally your tailgate crew) will outnumber NT fans this year because: We can't afford bowl game pricing. We, with a long history of bowl losses, feel our 7-5 opponent doesn't merit playing a 6-6 team. We don't like the AD because he weakly addressed the NIL situation. We feel overmatched because our rent-a-QB (and WR, etc) cancelled his lease before the game and all remaining players, well, see the part about losing bowl games. We basketball. We tailgate, and $MU won't let us. And if they did, we would tailgate the whole game and not be in the stadium because, well, see the part about losing bowl games. We wanted to play in New Mexico or Shreveport or the Bahamas or Boston, or not Frisco. We don't want to play in $MU's house because, well, see the part about losing bowl games and because we never beat the team whose house we will be playing in. We can't afford to give NIL money so we can't overpay players on one year contracts that will require even more money to stay a second year. We don't like cold weather, or warm weather, or sunny or rainy weather. We don't like the uniforms that the players that aren't paid much decide they want to wear. We aren't willing to risk the chance that the $MU A/V system will be loud and will interrupt the band. Prove me wrong, good guys, or otherwise #FlameAway. HouCat, see you in Dallas. I'll be the one wearing green. And I hope to share a dram of a nice peaty, smoky Scotch with you. Inside and/or outside the stadium. GMG

      Some college football head coaches struggle with the NIL and Portal era...and give it up

      Malzahn, 59, said he chose to return to his coaching roots rather than remain a head coach distracted by new-age responsibilities. Malzahn walked away from $15 million guaranteed -- he was set to make $5 million in 2025 and had three years remaining on his contract with the Knights -- for a different coaching lifestyle. He signed a three-year deal with FSU that will pay him $1.5 million in 2025. "The job description of a head college football coach has changed dramatically in the last two years with everything -- transfer portal to collectives to agents and everything that goes with that," Malzahn said. "I'm just an old-school football coach. "I love coaching football, and head coaches, it's hard to do that a lot. So that had something to do with it. And then the opportunity..." https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/42916508/malzahn-dramatic-changes-coaching-prompted-move-fsu
